Herbs and Spices - Week 2 Part 1
Greeting everyone. Thanks to everyone who posted the positive comments last week for edition 1 and also to the folks who emailed. Glad you enjoyed it. This is broken into a couple of sections because posts can only be so big so dont forget to check out parts 1, 2 etc

This week we are going to get up close and personal with Rosemary. Thats the herb Rosemary ...not the pretty little chicky babe around the corner ! (Yes there is a Rosemary around the corner from me hehe )

The rosemary bush belongs to the mint family which includes basil, lavender, myrtle, and sage and can be used for both culinary and cosmetic applications .

Grab a sprig and lightly bruise it then pop it into your shampoo bottle. It not only smells great but is VERY good for your hair and scalp.

Growing Rosemary is a no brainer. You can grow rosemary plants outdoors in your garden, or indoors in containers. Either way, it is an easy plant to grow and maintain. Dont bother trying to grow it from seed. Pop down the nursery and get an all ready growing one for a couple of dollars!

Choose a spot in your garden with full sun . Rosemary will thrive in sandy, well-drained soil. Alternatively, you can plant your rosemary in pots and keep them in a sunny window. Give the pots a turn from time to time so it gets an even exposure to the sunlight.
